The purpose of this study was to see whether and how the number of suicide attempters with alcohol problems and their drinking habits differ between the Nordic areas under study. Problem-drinkers were defined as persons who themselves felt that they had an alcohol problem. The analyses were based on data collected at five Nordic research centers participating in the WHO/Euro Multicentre Study on Parasuicide, namely: Helsinki (Finland); Umeå and Stockholm (Sweden); Słr-Trłndelag (Norway); and Odense (Denmark). The results showed that the frequency of problem-drinking among suicide attempters differed markedly between the areas under study; the Finnish male and the Danish female suicide attempters included the highest proportions of self-identified problem-drinkers. The pattern of drinking among the suicide attempters also differed between the areas. The analyses indicate that the point when alcohol becomes a problem to somebody, especially to a degree that it increases the risk of suicidal behavior, not only depends on how much and how often the person drinks alcohol; the prevailing drinking pattern, the attitudes towards drinking alcohol, and the level of social control are also important factors to take into consideration when relations between alcohol and suicidal behavior are under study.
本研究的目的是了解在所研究的北欧地区，有酒精问题的自杀未遂者数量及其饮酒习惯是否存在差异以及如何存在差异。有问题饮酒者被定义为那些自己觉得有酒精问题的人。分析基于五个参与世界卫生组织/欧洲多国自杀未遂研究的北欧研究中心收集的数据，这五个中心分别是：赫尔辛基（芬兰）；于默奥和斯德哥尔摩（瑞典）；南特伦德拉格（挪威）；以及欧登塞（丹麦）。结果显示，在所研究的地区中，自杀未遂者中有问题饮酒的频率存在显著差异；芬兰男性和丹麦女性自杀未遂者中自我认定的有问题饮酒者比例最高。自杀未遂者的饮酒模式在不同地区也存在差异。分析表明，酒精对某人成为问题，尤其是达到增加自杀行为风险的程度，不仅取决于此人饮酒的量和频率；在研究酒精与自杀行为之间的关系时，普遍的饮酒模式、对饮酒的态度以及社会控制水平也是需要考虑的重要因素。
